The Land Between the Lakes Jeep Jamboree offers a variety of trails and trail ratings. These trails contain a combination
of different types of terrain, which include rolling and wooded hills, plush wooded forests and rocky plateaus. Our trail
guides will be on-site at registration to assist you with trail selection.
The Land Between the Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area consists of 170,000 acres. This area is the first federally
designated area for off-highway vehicle use (2,350 acres). In addition, LBL has a living farm (Homestead-1850) depicting
life over one hundred years ago. You may see the family in period dress while they attend to chores in a historically
accurate manner. Nearby is a 200-acre buffalo range that has the largest publicly owned herd of buffalo in the U.S. The
Woodland Nature Center offers terrific presentations and exhibits for those interested in the natural surroundings of the
area.
Our headquarters are located at Kenlake State Resort Park located at Kentucky Lake in Hardin.

Trail Rating System
Every Jamboree trail is rated from 1 (easiest) to 10 (the most difficult). These ratings are based on the overall trail, not just on
one or two tough spots. Rain can increase ratings by one or two points. Please remember, all vehicles are subject to vehicle
check prior to trail departure. Numerically higher rated Jamborees are more likely to result in vehicular damage.
1-2 Obstacles and terrain are relatively easy to navigate. 10 Extremely demanding. Reserved for the toughest

Mud holes may be deep and rock climbing is more
arduous. Lifts and lockers are helpful. Requires 4WD

During registration participants will have the opportunity to discuss the trails, their driving experience and vehicle
capabilities with the trail guides. Guides will work with participants for trail placement. Rain may increase trail ratings 1 or 2
points, especially with street tires.
Waivers are required!
Waivers will be collected at the Jamboree during registration. Please read, sign and bring the completed waiver with you. All
passengers in your Jeep vehicle must sign and date this waiver. A waiver for participants under the age of 18 years old must
be signed and dated by a parent or the minor’s legal guardian.
Registrations, adding, deleting, or changing of passengers
In order to give accurate counts to our caterer for the meals, pay for land use and permit fees, all new registrations of
vehicles, adding, deleting or changing of passengers must be completed (2) two weeks prior to the Jamboree date.
We will no longer be able to accommodate any on-site registrations. This is for both adding of Jeeps or passengers.
Please note that registration prices are per person, not per Jeep vehicle. Event T-Shirts are included in your registration fee.
You must pre-order event T-Shirts at the time of your online or phone registration. Pre-ordered shirts will be given to you
during on-site registration.
Please Tread Lightly!
Travel responsibly on designated roads and trails or in permitted areas.
Respect the rights of others including private property owners and all recreational trail users, campers and others to allow
them to enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed.
Educate yourself by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies, planning for your trip, taking recreation
skills classes, and knowing how to use and operate your equipment safely.
Avoid sensitive areas such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams, unless on designated routes. This protects
wildlife habitat and sensitive soils from damage.
Do your part by leaving the area better than you found it, properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding
the spread of invasive species, restoring degraded areas, and joining a local enthusiast organization.
